The attacks were very impressive ! The explanations of our guide were very clear and useful. To be close to these sumo guys, who are so young in fact, has been quite an experience.

Sumo Stable Practice

Elizabeth_M, Apr 2024

We enjoyed this. Good guide. One hour is more than sufficient, however. The practices get a bit repetitive but overall a good experience.

Sumo!

Hana was an amazing guide. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable of Sumo practices. Meeting place was confusing at first but we found it and everything made sense lol. Sumo Wrestlers were very nice and let us take pictures. Recommend highly

Amazing experience to view sumo wrestler’s practice!

I had a great time watching the sumo wrestler’s morning practice. My tour guide - Kentake is really professional. He proactively shared lots of information about the Sumo history and wrestlers. I have gained so much knowledge from him. Kentake speaks in fluent English so there is no issue communicating with him :) Highly recommend Kentake😀👍

unique and amazing experience

Amazing experience, see up close the Sumo Wrestler's practice. Yuki explained all the background thoroughly to make sure you understand the context and philosophy. Very intense practice, we can see the focus and seriousness of the wrestlers, so not just to put up a show. Recommended to join the tour.

Guide was very...

Guide was very knowledgeable and experience was very cool to see sumo wrestlers even when there is no tournament scheduled.

Respectful Fights in Tokyo

Frederic_S, May 2023

Great experience. It was so impressive. The sumos were very concentrated, and it was incredible to see their engagement and how hard it is. aT the end we had the privilege to have a picture with the whole stable and the sensei. The guide provided a lot of information about the sumo history, and culture. Very useful and interesting. I fully recommend this activity.

More than I was expecting!
